Spanning an untamed stretch of northeastern Spain, the Costa Brava is a golden sweep of hidden coves, peaceful fishing villages and some of the best beaches in the country. In short, the ideal destination for a week of coastal walking. With our expert tour leader guiding the way, we set out on foot to discover the highlights – medieval towns, pretty fishing communities and a showreel of coastal vistas – while also stopping at a vineyard for a wine tasting and Salvador Dali’s summer house. Starting and ending in the electric seaside city of Barcelona also allows us to enjoy a touch of culture without getting too swept up in the bustle.

We spend six nights in three-star hotels, each chosen for their comfort and location. Below are the hotels we typically use:



Barcelona: Catalonia Sagrada Familia (night 1)







This three-star hotel has a lounger-lined dipping pool, ideal for a post-flight refresher. The rooms are modern and unfussy, while the snack bar – serving tapas and a selection of bartender-mixed cocktails – is the perfect spot to mingle with the group.



Begur: Hotel Rosa (nights 2-4)







Enjoy views of Begur Castle from the terrace or mingle in the games room at this 21-room hotel. A town centre location makes this retreat perfect for exploring the best of Begur.



Cadaques: Hotel Octavia (nights 5-6)







Hotel Octavia enjoys a prime location, a two-minute walk from Platja Gran beach, where you will find a monument to Salvador Dali and a string of bars. When you’re not out exploring, relax in your light, airy room.
